My thoughts on why Youngwoo and Junho’s “I don’t think we should date” scene could only have happened the way that it did:
1. Throughout their first couple of dates, YW keeps learning how she has been making JH feel lonely already. Her tendency to leave/hang up after she’s fulfilled her objective, her focusing only on picking up garbage during their jogging date, her focusing only on a game for three hours during their arcade date… Not to mention all the times she’s had an epiphany mid-conversation with him and run off, leaving him confusedly chasing after her. As Attorney Jung’s ex-wife Jisoo’s words resonate with YW, she realizes that she’s already been making JH feel lonely or leaving him by himself, so early on in their relationship.
2. YW also recognizes that JH is very kind. She most likely doesn’t know exactly how sacrificial, patient, and understanding he’s been, but the fact that she feels taken care of by JH shows that she knows it to some extent. Because JH is kind, she most likely knows that if she tells him the real reason why she feels like they shouldn’t date—her feeling like she won’t be able to love/care for him in the way he needs and will leave him lonely in their relationship—he will most likely try to take care of that himself, too. He might say it’s all okay or that he’ll try harder or that he doesn’t mind that much—essentially becoming completely sacrificial again and maybe even denying his own needs/wants or feeling like he can’t bring up his needs/wants without making her feel guilty so he doesn’t. We all know how that goes in a relationship. YW most likely knows that if she tells him the truth, he will try to take on that burden himself, too, which is exactly the opposite of what she wants.
3. But at the same time, YW can’t lie. It’s fundamentally against her nature to lie and most likely even more so to someone she likes/cares about. So she feels like she can’t tell JH the truth (see #2) and she also can’t lie, so the only option is to just say they can’t be together and leave it at that. She could’ve explained, before walking away with her epiphany, but she doesn’t. She only says sorry, bows, and leaves. It’s the best way to not tell him the truth but also not lie and give a made-up reason.
So this scene could only have gone this way, with the lack of communication that is so frustrating to all of us 😭😭😭 But actually, this scene stays faithful to both characters’ understanding of each other. Except for JH thinking she wants to break up because of Attorney Jung’s illness or the lack of dolphin sightings, lol I have no explanation for this other than the drama writers maybe want that epiphany to dawn on JH another way, perhaps directly through YW voicing it, without JH figuring it out and trying to take care of it himself (like he would). Usually JH is very good at piecing things together and being intuitive about what people are really trying to say, so this lapse might be the writer’s just trying to save that revelation for another, more powerful scene later (just a guess).
STILL HURTS LIKE A BITCH THOUGH 😫😫😫😫

There is an incredibly linear relationship to me deleting twitter and the amount of books I’ve read skyrocketing

man i am glad that i largely don't get a whole lot of popular posts. every time a post i make starts blowing up i get a rash of new followers and every single time i feel compelled to vet every single one to make sure i'm not getting followed by creeps and transphobes. and i just. am so glad that for the most part i don't GET a constant stream of new followers. because not being able to do that careful vetting of every follower would drive me a bit insane.

I found the post I thought I lost when I remade this blog! It's below the readmore. Its about my nonhuman idenity feelings. TW for venting about nonhuman dysphoria, CW for body horror/injury talk (I think that's a good tag for it? (it's also in the tags)), and more general horrifying language (as in the way i describe my feelings may cause others feelings of fear/horror/paranoia). also i talk about wanting to shapeshift.
i feel drawn to the nonhuman label, but there so many posts out there talking about really specific experiences. like, being a specific animal, being a specific monster, etc. that's great for them, and others who relate! (genuine) but for me personally, it more so this vague feeling of otherness. (def from autism, but like, yknow)
idk i want to being able to "ripple", to shapeshift into something incomprehensible, into goop, into a fractal, into the corner of eyes, and the back of minds. to disappear and be omnipresent. to pull apart my limbs and rend my flesh, to ooze and crawl and devour.
and being able to look and be whatever i want sounds cool as shit. 6 foot 4 and jacked as hell? shapeshift. size and body of a barbie doll? shapeshift. cryptic wolf-human-thing with coarse fur and long, clawed fingers? shapeshift. having a dick? shapeshift. vagina? shapeshift. both? shapeshift. something else? shapeshift.
becoming machine, becoming slime, becoming beautiful, becoming, becoming, becoming, becoming, becoming, becomi
